What is Artificial Intelligence in radiography?
AI can be used as an optimising tool to assist the technologist and radiologist in choosing a personalised patient’s protocol, tracking the patient’s dose parameters, providing an estimate of the radiation risks. AI can also aid the reporting workflow and help the linking between words, images, and quantitative data.
